Re: Braid or Dacron

Braid much thinner than dacron for any given breaking strain, so--more line on any given reel, and if you are bottom fishing, far less drag, so lighter sinkers needed for any given drift. Braid lasts a very long time, and is really not that expensive, unless you start going for the hollow core stuff, which is specialist game fishing gear anyway, for joining a mono topshot to with a splice.
